I really like this idea.

Thesleeper01

The only problem with it is that I wanted to run sepperate fights for each BotB so everyone that wanted to fight in any or all of them they could.

shot gun sounds really good!

Heh heh, made me smile there Damonte...

Takes some time to adjust the rocket to explode at 200 meters though

It also takes some time for a sniper to get 6 headshots from 200m off when they all know whereabouts you are (not counting the extra ones after they get revived)...

6... tough. 2 - piece of cake, especially because assaults like to be arrogant vs recon snipers, nothing brings a smile to my face like headshoting an arrogant assault rocket-spamming guy.

But after 2-3 headshots they at least need to grab some cover... just enough for me to slip out unnoticed (with ghost) or give my mates some time to clean up after me

Yes, there is a big difference between arrogant and good assault players with rockets. What I'd say would happen is that they'd have your whereabouts figured out after the 1st headshot, at which 1 or 2 guys would pick up the downed soldier, with 3 guys shooting rockets at you. Even if you do get that 2nd headshot off, or even that 3rd, there will still be rockets making their way to you.

And at a distance of 200m, I don't think your squad is going to be nearby to "clean up", and by ghosting away, you haven't really achieved much. The squad has stopped for a while, and then continued on their way again, all you've done is get yourself a few points and put a smile on your face.

Any voulnteers to help me hammer out the details and set this up?

I'm sorry, but this doesn't happen often, snipers just can't put out that fire quickly enough in this game. These approaches may work on pub servers, but it just doesn't cut it on TG, people are too aware and you'll be seen far too quickly. You may take down that third enemy as the last rocket blows up killing you, but chances are he's going to get revived. And moving targets at 200m, getting headshots, thats a pretty chancy thing if its a whole squad moving cover to cover.

Snipers on pub servers vs. snipers on the TG server are two completely different things. A sniper on a pub server can get quite a few kills and actually live the whole round. As a sniper on the TG server your main objective should be giving reconnaissance information to your squad so that a: they can avoid the enemy or b: they can ambush the enemy. Thus a good sniper actually never scores extremely high scores but they are a true asset to the squad if used in the correct way. It all goes back to fact that you have to be willing to help your team rather than seeing yourself with a bunch of kills at the end of the round.

Totally agree with you.

But, on a side note : how can they know from which direction is the fire coming if I headshot one guy from 200 meters and duck for a moment?

One of the basic rules in sniping is : " 2 shots in a minute " , even though I don't abide to this rule, something similar can be very annoying for a squad (for an example : shooting random SM's in the head, while they waste their time trying to rocket you).

That's the thing about snipers : they always get the highest target priority, making them the most squishy ones, and also the ones most likely to get knifed/shot/rocketed ...They are the same as smoke grenades : can be used to suppress, OR to make a diversion (which is the tactic I'm getting at )
